Tellabs® 8660 Edge Switch

Fully managed IP/MPLS-based router with versatile multiprotocol support.

Overview
The Tellabs® 8600 Managed Edge System provides a complete
network solution composed of the Tellabs® 8660 Edge Switch, the
Tellabs® 8630 Access Switch, the Tellabs® 8620 Access Switch,
the Tellabs® 8606 Ethernet Aggregator, the Tellabs® 8607 Access
Switch, the Tellabs® 8605 Access Switch and an advanced network
management system for managing the entire network and all of its
connections and services.

The Tellabs 8660 switch is the most scalable element of the Tellabs
8600 system solution designed for the carrier-class environment,
having full element- and network-level redundancy functionality. It
delivers real-time voice and video, QoS-aware data and Best Effort
services offered through a wireless or wireline infrastructure.
